Duties and task items for
UCRCoA county/city Team Leaders:
Ensure that UCRCoA is
displaying your preferred/best contact information on the Local
Groups page when you click your own State [the page you just clicked
on for this]. Your local Team Leader listing should include
your best email address, and one voice phone number if at all possible.
Please email any updates in your contact information to members@unitedcivilrights.org
Join the official Yahoo
Group for your own County or Independent City, and also request/get moderator
privileges for your same official Yahoo local group. Those links are on the
right side of the Local
Groups page you just came from. Also, join your official
state Yahoo Group. The link for that is located near the top of the
corresponding state "page" when you click your State on the State
Chapters page.
Establish and maintain
email/phone contact with at least one of your State's Directors, each of whom
are listed on the State
Chapters page. The Directors are also required to contact and guide
each of you, as Team Leaders, so two-way communication is already expected and
needed, anyway.
As a Team Leader, you should live in or very
near the County or Independent City for the Yahoo Group that you are in charge
of, since many aspects of UCRCoA agendas will need actual, physical tasks in
the local area. If you don't currently live in the County or Independent City
that you lead, then you need to arrange a local person there that you can
count on to handle the necessary "ground zero" tasks.
In order to answer
questions from other people, please read and know about the various
information applicable to the particular UCRCoA agenda currently in motion.
For example, since the nationwide family rights classactions are one of the
next biggest upcoming UCRCoA national events, all Team Leaders need to know how
things will happen for the paperwork and etc., and so here's the links to the classaction announcement
page, and to the classaction FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) page. Even outdated, those two pages are chock full of information
that is still directly applicable, but always check with your state leaders. Another upcoming huge
event is the DC Rally 2008,
so all county team leaders should be aware of what is going on there, too. The same thing for
all major UCRCoA events: a county team leader needs to be up to speed on those.
Encourage other
qualified persons to fill any remaining county/city Team
Leaders positions in your State, especially for the "red" (primary
targeted, population = 50,000+) counties and independent cities. Simply check
your own State on the Local
Groups page you just came from, to see if there are any Team Leaders
still needed in your own State.
Likewise, if you are wanting to help find other
due process victims in your own local area, there are several electronic and
paper methods to locate them here.
Also, consider using free conference calling
and/or screen-sharing to communicate with others. One popular free conference
call service is here.
You are probably familiar with others, too, as most of us have been on plenty of
conference calls using these free services. Yahoo Messenger [like AOL
Instant Messenger, "AIM"] offers free computer-to-computer Voice calls, if
you have a microphone and speakers at both ends, and can also be used by a group
of people on the same call/chat. Another available enhancement for your
conference calls [and for other purposes] is screen-sharing, which, like it
sounds, allows the screen on one person's computer to be shared on other
computers [seen by other people]. With screen-sharing, you can show
people what you mean, instead of just talking about it over the phone. Two good
options for screen-sharing are GoToMeeting [which also allows actual
"takeover" of another person's computer remotely, if you need, and other tools],
and a free plug-in for the Yahoo Messenger, called
"Unyte Lyte". When using the Yahoo Messenger, choose "Plug-Ins", and find the Unyte Lyte plug-in.
You will find that using conference calling and/or screen-sharing
makes many things easier, faster, and better, with more understood and
accomplished amongst all persons.
As a UCRCoA localgroup Team Leader, please
direct your further questions to any of your own State's Directors. Again, your
Directors are all listed on the State
Chapters page.
